END OF MODULE SELF-EVALUATION

NAME

Bobby Jones




1.  What skills have you developed through this module and how effectively do you think you have applied them?

sMy networking and communication skills. Not only throughout College and peers but also outside the walls of LCA and to the rest of the Design World, which has been fun and an very educational and inspiring experience.

2. What approaches to/methods of design production have you developed and how have they informed your design development process?

My crafting skills and knowledge of professional printers have informed my work and with my contacts with Hobs (John) I manage to get discount and a quick turn a round on printing as well as a professional finish.



3. What strengths can you identify in your work and how have/will you capitalise on these?


My strengths in my work would be my presentation skills and leadership in group work. I really enjoy group work and taking a creative director role, keeping the team motivated and on task. I think it was clear to see when presenting as an individuals and in the group work, as well as the quality in work for the group.


4. What weaknesses can you identify in your work and how will you address these in the future?

A weakness which I can identify in my work would be, my time management and keeping in budget. I spend £30 pounds on my prints and some reprints, although the end product was worth it, my budget was only £20.


5. Identify five things that you will do differently next time and what do you expect to gain from doing these?

1. Time management - keeping on top of my work.

2. blogging - To keep up to date with my work.

3. Bring in my old work to compare the old with the new, to show progression in a physical form.

4. More visuals in my presentation to allow my work to be spoken for and to have a more engaging presentation.

5. Proof reading and more mock ups to know that the process will work effectively and it reads well.



6.How would you grade yourself on the following areas:
(please indicate using an ‘x’) 

5= excellent, 4 = very good, 3 = good, 2 = average, 1 = poor

Final Self Promotion Packaging Photography

Self Promotion Packaging;

The overall craftsmanship and finish is something which I am generally happy with. Here are some pictures showcasing me, as a doll.

















I Had fun with my dolly.

Final Stationary Photography

My finals include, Business cards, Brand guidelines, Letterhead, Creative CV, Invoice and Mail shot. 

Overall I am not very happy with the quality as I feel the lighting is not great, for my Behance I will have to re do the photographs after I get my work back. It was rushed and not the most professional approach. I had a photography slot booked for Wednesday but I thought I would be in the studio presenting for the day and cancelled the slot, only to find out I would be presenting on Thursday.

Crafting Final Packaging












Taking the cuttings from original I measure the acetate window and make sure to measure a few millimetres more for the double sided tape.


Cutting the sustainable card, making small holes to put the string through and securing the figure.








As the figurine is slightly too big I have implemented a small foot cutting so that it can bend and hold it in place.


The combing and structure phase - 


  












Finished and complete packaging -
